Getting to Know the Neighbors

Just in case I haven't said it, we love out Flat- it's super quiet and clean.  We've met some of our neighbors who live in the same converted Victorian house and they have all been so friendly and helpful- from mowing the lawn and moving the rubbish bins out for pickup, to sorting mail and giving directions when we need to locate something in the area.  We are so thankful to live with such nice people. 

After a friend helped me locate some canned pumpkin I made some treat's to share with them as a thank you.  Yummy!

Autumn

So it turns out that decorating for Autumn isn't such a big deal in London.  I was so bummed!  No Target dollar bins with knick-knacks for above the mantle, or grocery store's stocking pumpkin spice everything.  I had to really work hard to get a "Fall" feel to our flat, but I think it turned out great in the end.  

 Thanks Nicole for the tip about finding Pumpkin Puree at Waitrose!!!
